A suspect has been caught in the hit-and-run accident that killed a biker on Towne Lake Parkway earlier this month with police in Cherokee County saying. Today is a big improvement. A 24-year-old Woodstock resident named Joseph Michael Tillman has been charged in connection with the terrible event that killed 78-year-old Charles Johnson.
Charles Johnson was riding his bike when he was hit by a car. He was badly hurt and died too soon. Since then, the cops in that area have fully looked into what happened, and on March 22, Tillman was caught. The charges that have been made against him show how bad the crime was. They say Tillman killed someone with his car, was drunk behind the wheel, caused a hit-and-run accident, messed with evidence, drove carelessly, and lied to police.
Once the police were able to link parts of the crash scene to Tillman’s car, they made a big step forward in the case. This was a very important piece of proof that helped catch him.
That the Cherokee Sheriff’s Office worked so hard to get justice for the victim and his family is shown by this finding.
Tillman is being held at the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center without the choice of bond right now, which shows how serious the charges against him are. As the court process goes on, Tillman waits for more hearings that will decide what will happen with this upsetting case.
This event had a big impact on the Woodstock community. It brought to light important problems of road safety and drivers’ duties to share the road safely and with care for bicycles. Additionally, it serves as a frightening warning of the terrible results of careless driving behaviors, like driving while drunk or recklessly, which can kill innocent people.
The Cherokee Sheriff’s Office said that the investigation is still going on, which means that more information may come out as they try to figure out what happened before the terrible accident. The community is waiting for more information and hopes for a fair and complete end to a case that has caused a lot of pain and raised a lot of worries about how safe the roads are in the area.
